To explain: Whether trying to pick a red gumball is considered as a good decision.
Trying to pick a red gumball is not considered as a good decision.
Given:There are five gumballs red, green, blue, purple, and orange. The cost of each gumball is $0.25. An attempt is made to pick a red gumball.
Concept used:
The decision is fair if each gumball has an equal chance to be selected.
Interpretation:
Each colour gumball is assigned a number as shown below
A random number table is shown below
With respect to the random number generator, ignore the numbers above 5, and to pick a red gumball, two green, 3 blue, and 1 purple gumball has to be picked. The cost of each gumball is $0.25. Thus it is not a good decision to pick a red gumball.
